Every heard the proverb, "You are what you eat"? Maybe instead of slathering your skin in store-bought creams that sometimes make your condition worse, try using an ingredient from your kitchen: nutmeg.

Steps

  1. Obtain some nutmeg, ground or whole, and put it into a small container - if whole, grate or grind it.
  2. Just before you go to bed, mix the ground nutmeg with some water or milk until it becomes a paste.
  3. Wash your face and pat dry.
  4. Dab the paste on to your pimples.
  5. Wait until nutmeg-paste is dry.
  6. Put a small towel on your pillow to catch any stains while you're sleeping.
  7. Go to bed and in the morning, see the results.

Tips

  1. Wash the small towel when necessary.
  2. Gentle enough to use every night.
  3. This works best when acne is due to oily skin.
  4. Use water to get the paste off your face.

Warnings

  • If you are allergic to nutmeg do not try.

Things You'll Need
